#BlockMusk . I'm appalled by the state of this platform however I will not let the far right win. I am sticking around to combat misinformation and share the good I do as a councillor. I still do not support this man's actions and his comments to insight hate in the UK

With Weston being left behind by the other parties, I've stepped up to represent you. Voting Green isn't a wasted vote anymore because with the conservatives toast, Labours lack of policy or plan, people have been switching Green. #turningwestongreen #VoteGreen #westonsupermare

@zarahsultana @earthygirl011 I think its time you left labour because they aren't backing you zarah. The greens would stand up for you at every opportunity. Please consider this.

Voting Green will save the #NHS.I have a clear plan to fix out A&E here in Weston without over stretching our staff. Labour want to see more privatisation, please don't let this happen. #VoteGreen #Weston #TurningWestonGreen

Labour have released their 211 non target seats, including Well & Mendip-hills, Weston and North Somerset. It is clear they don't think they can win here and we must not fall into the "Vote labour to out the Tories" in these constituency. Vote green instead for a hard working MP.
Applications have today opened for parliamentary candidate selections for 211 non battleground seats in England. See link below for:.- list of seats.- procedures document.- code of conduct.- timetable for applications.- online application form.

I attendedmy first hustings at @westoncollege yesterday. Giving young people the opportunity to engage with politics and ask the questions they feel are important. It was a joy to not be the youngest person in the room for once. We must give young people a voice.

I'm sorry, last I heard we didn't even have the room to jail sex offender? . 4 years is complete unjustified, ruining the future of passionate people putting themselves in danger to protect the climate. Like the protests or not, I think we can all agree this is obscene.
Five environmental activists whose protests blocked part of the M25 in England for four days are jailed for at least four years each

If elected I would work with North Somerset council to find any way possible to return our youth services. I will continue to sit in the council camber to make sure I am accountable to the local authority I represent but also to support where ever possible. #TurningWestonGreen.

I don't know nor do I care where the kid who committed the awful act of murder, came from. What I do know is there is a level of support we owe young people. Time and time again it is being missed due to austerity and an intolerant society. I really hope we learn.

It's always important to remember that when we vote for an MP we vote for a representative to help us, our family, neighbours, friends but most importantly the most vulnerable.

@janetmanning1 @jackwallington @grassroofco @NorthSomersetC Thanks for tagging me. Was not aware of this. Seems very counter productive to North Somersets environmental plans. I will have a look at what can be done.

@char1iewatts As the ward councillor for Wrington where the airport sits it is mental the amount they charge for parking. The lack of public transport they offer is appalling.

We really have a chance for change in Weston-super-Mare. With the conservatives on the way out and the certainty of a labour government. Now has never been a better chance to vote Green.
20 year old @CllrThomasDaw is looking to make history as Weston-Super-Mare's youngest MP and first Green Party MP. @NSomersetGreen.

With my campaign really taking off, we need to raise £1,500 for free post literature and deposit. It is also a record breaking possibility to get the countries youngest ever MP which would really send parliament a message and bring new ideas. Please RT.

Stop stoking the fire. Cancel arms trades to Israel that clearly are used to break international law!.
The situation in Northern Gaza is dire with the UN reporting that barely any food has entered in the last two weeks. The UK has consistently made clear that Israel must do more to get aid into Gaza and comply with international humanitarian law. We need an immediate.

So it seems that democracy is falling apart. When collaboration is needed more than ever, the big two parties are reinforcing the 2-party system to only benefit themselves. They have left the people of this great nation behind.
BREAKING: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer will go head-to-head in a TV debate at 9pm on June 4, ITV has announced. It comes after reports that Labour 'demanded' that the SNP and other small parties be blocked from participating. Story to follow.

Just for contaxt, I earn £10k a year being a councillor. The average young person makes about £12k a year. Travel would increase to £3,120 a year. You would be looking at a 1/4 of your yearly income on bus fares. People then wonder why most people drive instead.
Imagine this: you have to get a bus to work and it requires one into the city centre and then a second one to area you work. You currently pay £8 a day to get to and from work. (£2x2 there £2x2 back) Now a 50% pay increase sees you paying £12 a day. That's £1,040 a year more!

@emmaroc33249448 @Telegraph Wow. Both my parents combined before tax earn less than you husband combined after tax. I'm in a family of 8. The money raised from this should be put straight back into state schools so that everyone can play sports and have teachers paid well enough not to have a breakdown.

@TwosUpJ51 Yes but it won't fall on the working class. If you want to save you NHS and see a dentist, if you want your potholes fixed and your streets cleaned. We need to tax, the difference is greens are going after multi millionaires, not the working class like the Tories and labour.

@FOSBR We really need to electrify the railway through Bristol so we can increase capacity and speeds. Giving Weston-super-Mare it's 3rd platform back and doubling the line would mean we could double the short stop trains between Bristol and Weston.

After finding a home in the green party I've never felt more heard and welcome. @ZackPolanski is the most incredible speaker who truly projects the good in humanity. If you chose to find a political home I'm happy to explain who we are and why us! #GreenParty.

No sure who thought it was a good idea to advertise using the government using WhatsApp with the Tory's history on that platform. Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be deleted in no time.

Horizon will do incredible things for our scientists (again). Rejoining is the right move but the Tories made us leave? The 4 years we left horizon for, it is said to have done huge damage to research and development. I am glad we are back but I do not thank Tories for it.
Fantastic opportunities as the UK officially joins Horizon from today 🌍. Alongside the EU and global partners, 🇬🇧 UK scientists, researchers and businesses can lead the way in scientific innovation, creating new jobs and boosting the economy🚀🔬. Apply 👇.

@halestwit Labour don't have a given right to people's vote. If they really want to beat the conservatives then they must do better. What I am being told by people on the door however is that labour isn't the saving grace from the conservatives, except a new version. They want real change.

@JackPCarrington I like getting down into the policy and making change. We aren't whipped so everyone in the party has slightly different views on things but we are collaborative. I'm more interested in building sustainable properties on brown field sites before using up needed agriculture land.

@sales_belinda @GeorgeFergusonx I don't trust the words from a shadow ministers mouth. I want to see the part of their manifesto that says they will create more green energy. 28bn wasn't even enough at the time but rowing back on that was a tragic mistake for labour.

@SomersetSOM @FOSBR Investment! Weston branch used to be double lined and the bridges preventing that are well due an upgrade. I'm not going to promise it's done tomorrow but it's something I can fight for. A realistic ambition is the best way to put it.

Worried about your right to the NHS? Me too. There is a clear choice on the 4th of July. Vote for someone who will put party politics first or vote for me, someone who will listen and give Weston a voice at the table. In Weston we have already lost our right to a 24/7 A&E.

My colleagues at @NSomersetGreen and @Portisheadindys have done huge amounts to make the portishead (and pill) railway become from a dream to a reality. Unfortunately due to @UKLabour cuts we could see this hard work undone. I really hope that we can find a way to see this thru.

@networkrail please tell me if I'm wrong but I have a theory. Train travel is expensive to deter people from using it because if it was reasonable priced, London would become gridlocked wouldn't it?. Demand on trains would skyrocket and we just have the infrastructure do we?.
